What is Janu Basti?

Janu Basti is an intensive knee care treatment where warm medicated oil is retained in a leak-proof dough dam constructed over the knee joints.

Why is Janu Basti Recommended?

Knee osteoarthritis, crepitus, cartilage degeneration, and ligament tears cause chronic pain and mobility restriction. Janu Basti restores synovial fluid.

Therapeutic Mode of Action

  • Restores Synovial Fluid: Medicated oil nourishes knee cartilage and synovial membranes.
  • Reduces Friction: Improves joint space and eases bone-on-bone friction.
  • Anti-inflammatory: Herbal oils absorb into knee tendons and ligaments.

Clinical Indications

Janu Basti is prescribed following diagnostic evaluation for patients presenting with:

Knee Osteoarthritis & Joint Crepitus
Ligament Strain & Post-Knee Injury Care
Knee Stiffness & Difficulty Walking
Rheumatoid Knee Pain
